Nina & Iggy's Koko Alaisa
TEAM SAMOA
INGREDIENTS
½ medium cup grated koko samoa (Substitution: cocoa powder or grated pure dark chocolate)
2 coconuts for one cup of cream (or you can use 1 can coconut milk or evaporated milk)
1 cup rice
6 cups water
½ cup honey
3 laumoli orange tree leaf or lemon grass
METHOD
- Grate the koko samoa using a fine grater
- Make the coconut cream- it is so much nicer fresh from the coconut!
- In a big pot boil rice and water, as soon as it starts boiling, add the koko samoa, then reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes, once it thickens to your liking add the honey
- Add the coconut cream (Cocoa rice should resemble a very thick soup.)
- For that burst of flavor, add 3 orange leaf or lemon grass
Serve while warm for breakfast or chill and serve with Banana for dessert and whipped coconut cream
